The "transfromation" synonym should be "transformation". That's just a typo, although it may have been lurking for a while. (I can't see a way to suggest an edit, except this one.)

I think this won't matter since transfromation is already a synonym of data-transformation. It might be that we need to create a new tag [transformation] to also be a synonym of data-transformation, but only to preempt the possibility that someone will create that tag without people noticing it. However, that doesn't seem to have been an issue thus far; we can probably put that off until it actually occurs.

$\begingroup$ I don't think you have grasped my point. "transfromation" is a typo (and not even a common one in English). I can't believe it was intended as a tag. Do we maintain misspellings of any other words as tags? Meanwhile the lack of "transformation" is an obvious gap. $\endgroup$– Nick CoxAug 6, 2013 at 1:29

$\begingroup$ I've missed points before, but I think there is no gap. There isn't supposed to be a
[transformation]tag. If there were one, it would be a synonym of[data-transformation]. The fact that there was a typo in[transformation]before it was made into a synonym doesn't matter. $\endgroup$ Aug 6, 2013 at 1:32 -
$\begingroup$ Sorry, but I don't understand at all. We fix typos in posts, especially in their titles; aren't typos in tags even more fundamental? What's the objection to deleting it and substituting the correct spelling? $\endgroup$– Nick CoxAug 6, 2013 at 1:34

4$\begingroup$ It's not a typo in a tag it's a typo in a tag synonym. It can't be "fixed" except by a moderator. I don't object to that if the mods feel like doing it, but note that typos are part of the point of tag synonyms. $\endgroup$ Aug 6, 2013 at 1:45

transfromationis not associated with any threads, it should automatically disappear within six months. $\endgroup$
